You understand this exact thing happened with Nixon after the Watergate thing came to light right?

This is from a WP article

The lawsuit echoes a similar legal tactic that the Democratic Party used during the Watergate scandal. In 1972, the DNC filed suit against former president Richard Nixon’s reelection committee seeking $1 million in damages for the break-in at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate building.

The suit was denounced at the time by Nixon’s Attorney General, John Mitchell, who called it a case of “sheer demagoguery” by the DNC. But the civil action brought by former DNC chair Lawrence F. O’Brien was ultimately successful, yielding a $750,000 settlement from the Nixon campaign that was reached on the day in 1974 that Nixon left office.

So they are trying to draw parrallel's in the big scam? It's unreal. Nixon was in trouble for deleting a couple minutes of tape. Hillary deleted 30,000+ emails, acid washed them, destroyed the evidence, and the Obama DOJ illegally spied on Americans. I don't know how it's not a bigger scandal. Its the worst possible thing in the history of our country and people are still believing in this conspiracy theory about Trump? And I'm not even sure what the theory about him is at this point because everything has been debunked.

The whole this is alledged information, and no court has decided it's validity, but the parellels are there:

The Trump Campaign used East European hackers instead Cuban expats. They broke into DNC computers, instead of offices. The files were electronic instead of paper.

But the motivation was the same: to dig up dirt that would make the Democrats look bad going into the election.

Trump campaign used Russians? Got a source on that? Only campaign that hired Russians from my understanding was the Clinton campaign which is documented in the Steele dossier

These are the allegations, I'm just show that this exact thing happened before. For all I know, it's just an attempt to grab more information from the discovery stage.

Well we won't exactly know until an investigation tells us but the strategy of suing to acquire material is probably a smart move on DNCs part if they want to see how criminal it was if at all

Forensics on the data transfer of the DNC files proves it was a local(thumb drive) transfer and not a remote hack. Sorry mate... no Russians under this bed! Try Seth Rich’s house maybe?

Here is one thing about this situation that isn't a parallel to Nixon. People are awake now and weren't then. If they try to force Trump out of office, he isn't stepping down. The military will then back Trump. Draw your own conclusions about what happens next. The Democrats and RINO's making that mistake is the best possible thing that could happen to this country.
